PLEATED SKIRT—N

By BETTY LOCHER Times Fashion Editer ; HE first spring day will turn a woman's fancy lightly toward a new spring ensemble. This generally begins with a good suit, one that will stand her in good stead for many occasions. .

Sunshine will be sure to come to the city soon; so take a look

at what you will find here in new

suit fashions. There's variety this season in silhouet, fabric and mood. There are full, pleated, gored and slim skirts.

u o ~ TIME WAS WHEN a jacket was something that extended below the waistline. Not so this year. Some have shrunk amazingly and. may be cropped just

ew length for suit sleeves.

below the bustline. They're called Spencer jackets, and the chances are two to one they're hiding a bare little cocktail dress underneath. Sleeves have shrunk, too. The newest length is just above the wristbone to show off your collection of bracelets and your pretty gloves. New necklines

‘are lower to give good excuse

for a flattering scarf, a chinchuckling bow, an extra-pretty blouse or a fabulous necklace, ” s 5 GOOD EXAMPLES of the new trends may be seen im the suits photographed. Let's look at them one at a time, beginning upper left, traveling right. A flatter of razor-edged pleats falls gracefully into a slim skirt in Forstmann's shimmery gabardine, Sleeves

Make Hose Flatter Legs

D° YOU wear stockings to flatter your legs, or just to cover them? You are missing an important beauty bet if your answer is the latter. Stockings actually can create an {llusion of width or

slenderness. Berore "you buy another pair of hose, study your legs carefully in a fulllength mirror.

If you feel they are on the heavy side, always choose stockings with a darkened seam. It almost goes without saying that it is extremely important for you to keep your seams perfectly straight.

lect deep-color tones. Think of

your stocking shades as you do your make-up. Dark disguises; light empha~ sizes. Leave pale, bright colors to the girls with thin legs.

Poodle May Become .Shaggy Dog

Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 16— The dog may be man’s best friend, but the poodle is by no ‘means woman's best coiffure in the opinion of eminent New York hair stylist James Caesar. > In fact, the. poodle is very likely to become a shaggy dog —something any woman would view “with horror, he says— and recommends instead the Empire coiffure which is flatteringly short and smartly in

tune with the new-season fashions. Mr. Caesar isn't really against the poodle.

But he feels it is not an eco-

nomical hair-do and predicts if more and more women become poodles, they'll get so disgusted with the upkeep they'll swing all the way around in the other direction.

Instead of poodles — we will have a lot of lank, long-locked Afghans. » ” » HIS NEW EMPIRE coiffure rescues the fair sex from both predicaments. = . It’s chic, pretty, well-shaped and short—the perfect solution to the problem of the unclipped poodle—or to any locks in need of a smart new style.

The chic “short and up” lines of Mr. Caesar's new. Empire coiffure not only look good when you step out of the salon —it has the additional virtue of being easy to take care of.

You won't be involved, either, with hundreds of curls as you are with the poodle. - = » IT'S RIGHT, too, for any type of hair—especially the very fine, fly-away kind. The hair is parted tiara-like in a circle around the face, about one inch behind the hair line, brushed forward at the sides in curly tendrils. Waves are swept back and up to give a classic sculptured effect.

Protects Pearls Have your good pearls strung with knots between each bead to keep them from touching and marring each other.

Time Is Here For Brighter Colors

The recent. destructive rains in Southern California are over and the Hollywoodites are gradually getting the mud out of their yards. A few days of sun have start. turning the hills green and the first hint of spring is in the alr, Suddenly a brown felt hat no longer feels chic, and though a woolen dress or a suit is still

necessary for warmth, a pastel color seems to do something for the morale.
